| I hope that 1 is male and the other is female  so that I try and breed them. Below are the pics so you can help me with the sexes. I also have another but unfortunately I could not take pictures of him because he/she was hiding (no bristles at all but the smaller between them all). This is definitely the male with bristles  This I hope is the female but it has bristles not much as male so if someone can help me out. (i have 2 common ancistrus and the female has some bristles just like this)  |

| I could be wrong as identifying can be hard - I think both of these could be Male. 1st for sure Male 2nd as mainly bristles on the top lip at the minute so as far as I know that resembles male, some females do have fewer bristles, though you might get better advice from a L144 breeder as I do not breed this type of fish  |

| I think I have a female. This is my 3rd   The only problem is that she is smaller than the other although I bought them at the same age/size 1 year ago. |
